Between regulatory impediments and injuries, Marcos Rojo’s stay at Gustavo Costas’ Racing has so far borne little fruit. The defender from La Plata could now leave Avellaneda, and from the Buenos Aires capital they are sounding out the situation.

Estudiantes de La Plata, who will have a busy 2026 in terms of competitions, is looking to reorganize its squad, which lost key pieces in defense after the sale of Román Gómez. After their failed attempt to bring back Zaid Romero, who will continue his career in Belgium, the ‘Pincha’ has set its sights on the 2009 Copa Libertadores champion.

The former Boca captain and World Cup player with the Argentina National Team has a contract with Racing until June, with a clause for a six-month extension. However, in the ‘Academy’ transfer market, the possible termination of the contract is emerging strongly as an option in light of the proposals.
